-Wframe-larger-than= requires stack frame information, which the frontend cannot provide. This diagnostic is emitted late during compilation once stack frame size is available. When building with LTO, the frontend simply lowers C to LLVM IR and does not have stack frame information, so it cannot emit this diagnostic. When the linker drives LTO, it restarts optimizations and lowers LLVM IR to object code. At that point, it has stack frame information but doesn't know to check for a specific max stack frame size. I consider this a bug in LLVM that we need to fix. There are some details we're working out related to LTO such as which value to use when there are multiple different values specified per TU, or how to propagate these to compiler synthesized routines properly, if at all. Until it's fixed, ensure we don't miss these. At that point we can wrap this in a compiler version guard or revert this based on the minimum support version of Clang. The error message is not generated during link: LTO vmlinux.o ld.lld: warning: stack size limit exceeded (8224) in foobarbaz Cc: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@google.com> Reported-by: Candle Sun <candlesea@gmail.com> Suggested-by: Fangrui Song <maskray@google.com> Signed-off-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210312010942.1546679-1-ndesaulniers@google.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
